Chapter 67: Buying Recipes at Zuixianlou
Although no one was injured in the home of the old village chief Gu except for some damaged tables, chairs and benches, everyone felt depressed on the way back.
In this way, even if the Gu family has completely offended the Qian family, they can't always ask Tian Dali and others for help in the future, right?
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, we can always find a way to sell these foods!" In fact, Gu Feixue was not sure either.
The best way is to spend money to buy a shop. Once you have a store, you can hire more employees and solve these problems.
However, although she had the money in her hand, she had no suitable excuse to take it out.
Six taels of silver could be said to be earned from selling herbs, but several hundred taels was not a small sum.
All the Gu family’s money was used to send the four of them to private school. Where would there be any left?
Even though he earned less than half a tael of silver today, he went to the city to buy some tables and chairs to return to the villagers before returning, just enough to pay it all back.
What should we do?
"Xue'er, are we unable to sell these foods?"
Gu Sang and Gu Da looked a little worried. They also knew that the Gu family had spent a lot of money on private school. Now that the Gu family had no way out, they were naturally sad.
Gu Feixue shook her head and smiled, "Why can't it be sold? So many people like to eat it, it will definitely sell."
Gu Sang agreed with what he said:
"Yes, we have never seen these foods, and those restaurants certainly don't have them either. But what if these villains retaliate in the future?"
Gu Sang was worried, but he didn't expect Gu Feixue's expression to suddenly change when she heard that.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that! Dad and Mom, I have an idea!"
Gu Sang and Gu Da looked confused. How did Xue'er suddenly come up with this idea?
Everyone on the oxcart couldn't help but look at Gu Feixue with doubts, but Gu Feixue said to the old village chief driving the cart:
"Grandpa Village Chief, please stop for a moment."
After the ox cart stopped, Gu Feixue told everyone the method.
"Although we can't open our own shop, and we're afraid of Wang Mazi and his men retaliating if we set up a stall, we can sell our products to others, whether it's selling recipes directly or having someone sell them for us. We may earn less money, but it's safer."
Sure enough, once this method was proposed, most people present agreed with it.
"Then who should we cooperate with?" Gu Tingchuan asked cautiously.
Gu Feixue looked thoughtful and then said:
"We'll partner with the biggest restaurant in the city. They're definitely not afraid of Qian Youliang."
This restaurant happened to be the place where Duke Zheng had entertained guests in the past, so Gu Tingchuan naturally had an impression of it.
So the group turned back halfway, and this time their destination was the largest restaurant in Liangcheng, Zuixianlou.
The reputation of Zuixianlou is naturally good, and the owner's restaurants are located in many prosperous areas of Jiangzhou.
Although in Gu Feixue's eyes, there were too few dishes in the restaurant and some of them were not that delicious.
But she was from the modern era after all, so her taste was naturally more discerning. To these ancient people, Zuixianlou was already quite good.
When we arrived at the door of Zuixianlou, a waiter came out to greet us.
Everyone thought they didn't look like rich people, so this encounter gave them a much better impression of Zuixianlou.
The Gu family members didn’t know that even if the Gu family was in trouble and penniless, how could the government destroy them so easily?
Even though they were dressed in plain clothes, their aura made the knowledgeable man dare not neglect them.
"Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"
The guy had a face full of smiles. Gu Feixue saw that his face wrinkles were all smiling, and she couldn't help but said with some amusement:
"Big brother, we're here to discuss business. Is the owner of Zuixianlou here? We have some unique dishes and would like to cooperate with you for a win-win situation."
The strange words that came out of Gu Feixue's mouth made the guy stunned.
The other party looked at everyone and saw that they were indeed not joking, so he asked, "Excuse me, what is this food?"
Gu Feixue naturally didn't say too much to her friends, otherwise what if she leaked the information?
Then he pulled Wang's sleeve, and Wang said calmly and politely:
"Please ask the young man to invite your shopkeeper. These delicacies will definitely not make your shopkeeper regret coming to see you."
The waiter hesitated for a moment before putting away the plate in his hand. His tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before, but rather respectful. "Please wait a moment, my guests. I'll go get our shopkeeper."
After a while, the owner of the Liangcheng Zuixianlou came to receive everyone.
"I heard that you guys want to sell food?"
When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves, this guy is straightforward, doesn't talk too much nonsense, and doesn't look down on others. He is actually a wonderful person.
Because they were discussing business, the old village chief and his companions did not follow. Only Gu Feixue, Gu Tingchuan, Gu Lang and Wang followed Bao Hongcai and the shopkeeper to the backyard to discuss the business.
"How about this, I'll go and make the food, and then the shopkeeper can taste it and see for himself."
Bao Hongcai was shocked to see that Gu Feixue, a little girl, had a demeanor that was no less than that of an adult.
Moreover, it seemed that he had seen Gu Feixue and Gu Tingchuan somewhere, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't be sure.
"Okay, let's do as the care girl said."
Since they were in a hurry this time, Wang cooked with Gu Feixue.
Yogurt needs to ferment for at least one night, but condensed milk and golden buns can be made immediately.
Not long after, when Gu Feixue and Wang brought the golden buns and condensed milk to the table, they indeed attracted the curious gaze of Shopkeeper Bao.
"This dish is called Golden Buns. The ingredients are steamed buns, milk, sugar, and oil. Please have Mr. Bao taste it and we can talk later."
Needless to say, the result was a resounding victory.
The shopkeeper Bao was already wealthy and looked like a sweet-loving person.
The sweet and crispy golden steamed buns instantly captured the taste buds of Shopkeeper Bao. In a short while, he had eaten up all the five golden steamed buns and condensed milk on the plate.
"Tell me quickly, Lao Bao, how do you make such exquisite food?"
Things went much more smoothly after that. Gu Feixue proposed signing a contract. In exchange for profit sharing, they would provide the recipe for the golden buns to Zuixianlou. They would get 50% of the net profit earned by Zuixianlou. If they were asked to provide milk, the raw materials would be charged separately.
This approach is the safest way for the Gu family.
Of course, although half of the profits were divided with Zuixianlou, there would still be profit as long as the selling price was higher.
Bao Hongcai has always been a straightforward person. In his opinion, this food is indeed unique, so he signed a contract with the Gu family at that time.
After the hostage is taken to the government office and the official stamps it, the transaction between the two parties will take effect.
After making the condensed milk and golden buns again in front of Bao Hongcai, the Gu family took the hostages and returned to the village with everyone else.
Now the Gu family can produce three large buckets of milk a day.
Apart from keeping some to make yogurt and to cooperate with Manager Bao in a few days, they sent the rest of the milk to Zuixianlou in the city.
